I moved into a new house and all the wifi extenders are hooked up to the existing Nighthawk router. Unfortunately, I don't have the password and prefer not to buy a new one. Does anyone know how to reset a password on a router without being able to log into it? thanks for your help
Thanks for the response. I tried it a couple times and used "password" as my security key to connect but it didn't work. should i have tried something different?
The non-psychics in your audience might not be able to identify your equipment, guess what's connected to what, or guess what you're doing, or guess what happens when you do it.
"didn't work" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

Did you consider trying this radical concept (which works for some people):
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for topics like "Types of Logins", "Basic Wireless Settings", and "Reset". Further reading might not hurt, either.
Peppering this forum with information-free questions might be much less efficient (for everyone) than simply reading the product documentation.
